** Book Review- A Royal Mistake by Jennifer Bonds

   

General Fiction (Adult), Romance 

Each book in the Royally Engaged series is STANDALONE:

The perfect guy. The perfect lie...

Princess Philippa Stanley is over being the perfect royal.

The world’s got bigger problems than the color of her nail polish, yet the tabloids insist on detailing her every royal faux pas. Like her bold new hairstyle and missing pantyhose. Freaking pantyhose. Things that don’t matter to anyone—except her parents.

Their Majesties are desperate for her to settle down. So desperate they invite a dozen overzealous bachelors to compete for her hand in marriage. Now she’s living her own nightmare version of The Bachelorette: Royal Edition with suitors ambushing her at every turn.

No way is she participating in this farce of a courtship. Hard pass. But when her father makes her an offer she can’t refuse—take part in exchange for access to her trust fund—it’s the only way to get the money she needs to start her own charitable foundation.

Fine. She’ll play the game. There’s zero chance she’ll fall in love until she crashes into a sexy, down-to-earth philanthropist who can help her launch her charity and drive off the unwanted suitors. It’s like she’s met the perfect guy.

But what if he’s really the perfect lie?

This story was a fun romp with some determined people starring in it.   Starting with  Philippa or Pippa as she liked to be called.  She was liked a "caged bird" who longed to be..herself.  And the days of her going along with her rigidly ruled life was over.  The new version of Pippa was rocking the boat.  And I really liked her style a lot. She had a determined group of titled toffs after her for all the wrong reasons. So she came up with a mission, named  "Operation Ditch the Toffs."  And that is when things really got funny.

 Her parents, The Majesties, were more Royals and how things "looked to others" than concern for her happiness.  It looked like better things would be coming with the Royals, starting with her brother, the heir.

 Henry, what a pickle he was in but also what a really good person too.  He was all about helping others and wanting the spotlight to shine on someone else, thank you very much.  Of course, you just know that his secret is going to come out in the worst way and the worst time.   Yep.  But he does manage to grovel his way to a H.E.A.  I also enjoyed the Epilogue that held even more smiles.
